Essay, Research Paper: Getting In

The most significant experience of my life is yet to come. The most meaningful
experience of my life must be the transaction from high school to college. My high school years
are ending and the future could be leading me to many untraveled paths. I have chosen a path for
myself, it may not be the easiest or the shortest, but I know it will lead me to success.
I have chosen the less traveled road because of my independence. Throughout high
school, I struggled with Century Honors and Advance Placement classes. Although, these classes
required much work and were extremely difficult, I never gave up. Doing so, would mean
renouncing to all chances of victory. With determination and by pushing myself, I successfully
passed all of the courses which lead me to being a member of the National Honor Society. I
know that I want to be in in the Fashion Institute of Technology and major in Fashion Buying and
Merchandising. However, I'm also aware that I can’t get there by taking the easiest way out. I
have to struggle and overcome the obstacles that lie before my goal.
My road through life is just beginning. There will be many obstacles ahead but if I
concentrate on my path and stay on it, many good things will lie ahead for me. On the road of
scholarship the things which come the hardest are the sweetest. I have chosen the road less
traveled by because there is no shortcut to any place worth going.
